A)Geocoding
B)Geocache
C)Geocoin
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

Geocoding in spatial databases is a coding process that takes a digital map feature and assigns it an attribute that serves as a unique ID (tract number, node number)or classification (soil type, zoning category).

Question 9

What represents a north/south measurement of position?
A)Estimated-time-of-arrival
B)Estimated-time-enroute
C)Latitude
D)Longitude

Accepted Answer

Latitude represents a north/south measurement of position.

Question 10

What occurs when paper maps are laid edge-to-edge and items that run across maps and do not match are reconfigured to match?
A)Automatic vehicle location
B)Geographic information system
C)Cartography
D)Edge matching

Accepted Answer

Edge matching (warping, rubber sheeting)occurs when paper maps are laid edge-to-edge and items that run across maps and do not match are reconfigured to match. Edge matching is a critical component of creating a GIS database because map misalignments occur frequently for many reasons including survey error and cartographic errors.

Question 11

What is an RFID reader (RFID interrogator)?
A)An electronic identification device that is made up of a chip and antenna.
B)A transmitter/receiver that reads the contents of RFID tags in the area.
C)Do not have a power source.
D)Have their own transmitter and a power source (typically a battery).

Accepted Answer

An RFID reader (RFID interrogator)is a transmitter/receiver that reads the contents of RFID tags in the area.

Question 12

What is an RFID tag?
A)An electronic identification device that is made up of a chip and antenna.
B)A transmitter/receiver that reads the contents of RFID tags in the area.
C)Do not have a power source.
D)Have their own transmitter and a power source (typically a battery).

Accepted Answer

An RFID tag is an electronic identification device that is made up of a chip and antenna.

Question 13

What is the science and art of making an illustrated map or chart. GIS allows users to interpret, analyze, and visualize data in different ways that reveal patterns and trends in the form of reports, charts, and maps?
A)Automatic vehicle location
B)Geographic information system
C)Cartography
D)Edge matching

Accepted Answer

Cartography is the science and art of making an illustrated map or chart. GIS allows users to interpret, analyze, and visualize data in different ways that reveal patterns and trends in the form of reports, charts, and maps.

Question 14

What identifies the geographic location of features and boundaries on Earth, such as natural or constructed features, oceans, and more?
A)Automatic vehicle location
